Section 2 — Financial Information

On July 10, 2007, IMTT Holdings Inc., which is 50% owned by Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, through two wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “IMTT”) issued $215 million of Gulf Opportunity Zone Bonds (GO Zone Bonds) in two tranches. The proceeds from the issuance of the GO Zone Bonds will be used to fund qualified project costs at its St Rose and Geismar storage facilities incurred subsequent to August 12, 2005 (in the case of St Rose) and April 28, 2005 (in the case of Geismar) and before January 1, 2011. Of the proceeds from the issuance of the GO Zone Bonds, $113 million (an amount approximately equivalent to IMTT’s aggregate capital expenditures at St Rose and Geismar from the aforementioned dates through the date of issuance) have been made immediately available to IMTT and will be used to repay part of the outstanding balance under IMTT’s revolving credit facility. The balance of the proceeds from the GO Zone Bond issuance ($100.5 million net of transaction costs) are currently held in trust and will be released to IMTT as further capital expenditure at the specified terminals is undertaken. While held in trust, the proceeds will be invested by the trustee in short term debt instruments with high credit rating. It is anticipated that all proceeds from the issuance held by the trustee will be released to IMTT by the end of 2008.

The GO Zone Bonds are fully credit supported by letters of credit drawn under IMTT’s revolving credit agreement.

For federal income tax purposes, interest on the GO Zone Bonds is excluded from gross income, and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations that are investors in the Go Zone Bonds; however, for purposes of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations, such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings. As a consequence of this and the credit support provided by the letters of credit, the floating interest rate applicable to similar bonds has historically averaged approximately 67% percent of LIBOR. Interest on the GO Zone Bonds is deductible to IMTT as incurred except to the extent capitalized and amortized as part of project costs as required, for federal income tax purposes.

The key terms of the GO Zone Bonds issued are summarized in the table below.

Facility Term
Amount Outstanding		$215 million
Amount Released to IMTT		$113 million
Amount Held by Bond Trustee		$100.5 million
Term		30 years from date of issuance
Amortization		Nil. Repayable in full at maturity
Interest Rate		Floating at tax exempt bond tender rates
Security		Unsecured. Required to be supported at all times by bank letter of credit
Financial Covenants		Nil
Restrictions on Payments of Dividends		Nil

IMTT has partially hedged its interest rate exposure in relation to the floating rate Go Zone Bonds by entering into a 10 year fixed/floating interest rate swap pursuant to which IMTT pays a fixed rate of 3.662% and receives 67% of 1 month LIBOR. The face value of the interest rate swap commences at

$75 million and increases progressively to $215 million by the end of 2008 reflecting broadly the estimated schedule for drawing down the Go Zone Bond proceeds from the trustee.

Section 3 — Securities and Trading Markets

On July 13, 2007, Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC issued 21,972 limited liability company interests to Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., or MIMUSA, upon reinvestment of the $1.0 million performance fee due to MIMUSA for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007, as previously disclosed. The securities were issued in a private placement under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and pursuant to the terms of the Management Services Agreement.
